      A guy who willingly, consciously poisons himself with negativity and becomes a cancerous nihilist, who spreads his misery onto others, deserves no empathy. It’s pearls before swines.

      And you, kind sir, instead of being judgmental towards me, feel free to put that energy into fixing the nihilist, if you feel so empathetic.

        I can do both. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I try to never use insults to win arguments. Be the change you want to see in the world.

          I can do both.

          But you won’t. At best you’re gonna make some honey-sweet comment as the means of proving me wrong, offering fake sympathies, but you won’t progress much further. Because being judgmental towards others gives you a pleasure boost, at the cost of time, focus and energy that the process of helping others requires…

          So no. You won’t.

            Do you have something you want to talk/ vent about? I’ll listen 👂

            I’ll go first. Climate change scares the crap out of me.

              For that I have friends, family and - if need be - a specialist.

              Random people from the Internet, especially those that decide to use judgmental attitude as the means to start a conversation, aren’t particularly good choice for personal conversations.

              But there’s a guy in this thread you were so worried about, feel free to focus all your attention at him and bring him back to the light, so to speak.

                Unfortunately I can’t do that. Because I agree with him. I wake up every day with hope for the world until climate change pushes me to despair. So I understand why some want it to end.

                  Then you’re an idiot yourself too, for only idiots decide consciously to stay in misery, possibly spreading it onto others, rather than find the way to live a better, happier life.

                  G’day.

                    So it’s okay for you to judge me, but not for me to judge you? We all judge, I was just encouraging you not to call others idiot when you do. It’s a very low bar.
